Your poignant picture of a woman caught far from home and needing the Flaming Lips cover of Helpless (Which, thank you, I now need, so I think your next mix should be Songs That Feature the Word Help. Or less. Either one, really.) totally swayed me; I went with the video iPod for the larger storage space.
And thanks especially for the tape adaptor advice. Since the biggest use of the iPod will be on Best Beloved's commute from hell, obviously the car was a central issue. And we live in Southern CA, so the airwaves are fairly saturated, which made me dubious about the FM adaptor even before everyone noted the problems with it, but I hadn't even noticed that there was a tape alternative. Yay!
(20 GB is only half of your music collection? Wow.)
